  • Compression support stocking with a compression support body
    Patent number: 7028690
    Abstract: A compression stocking (1) made of a knit or woven elastic fabric provided with a compression body (6) which can be attached to the compression stocking (1) such that the compression body is positioned at a knee joint (5). The compression stocking (1) of the invention can be used, for example, after surgery in the area of the knee joint (5). To get rid of the wound secretion, blood and tissue fluid that occurs during surgery from the soft tissue surrounding the joint, a defined pressure is applied by the compression stocking (1) and the compression body (6) to the soft tissue of the knee joint (5). To this end, the compression body (6) has a recess (7) to accommodate the patella of the knee joint (5). The recess (7) and the compression body (6) each have an elliptical shape, which is approximately adapted to the shape of the patella, i.e., the joint soft tissue.
